In a significant step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Southern California Edison (SCE), one of the nation’s largest electric utilities, has announced the addition of over 280 Chevrolet Silverado EV Work Trucks (WT) to its service fleet. The move aligns with SCE’s ambitious plan to transition to a 100% electric light-duty fleet, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
“The deployment represents a pivotal step in SCE’s commitment to electrify our fleet and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Todd Carlson, Principal Manager of Fleet for Southern California Edison. “At SCE, we’re committed to leading by example in California’s clean energy transformation. Working with partners like Chevrolet allows us to integrate high-performing electric vehicles while improving SoCal’s air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
The Chevrolet Silverado EV WT, known for its rugged design and zero-emission capability, is tailor-made for demanding work environments. It offers SCE a practical solution for reducing fleet emissions without compromising performance.
“We are excited to help innovative customers like Southern California Edison to meet their electrification goals with the Chevrolet Silverado EV WT as part of their fleet transformation,” said Sandor Piszar, vice president of GM Envolve. “The Silverado EV WT combines the performance and reliability commercial customers expect with the benefits and low cost of ownership of electric propulsion.”
SCE’s decision to integrate these electric vehicles into its fleet reflects its broader strategy to lead California’s clean energy transition while setting a standard for utility companies nationwide.
